Day 136

'Flop', Pen and Marker on Paper
I'd be lying if I said that I don't often worry as to what the eventual outcome of this project will be. Whilst I have many big ideas and hopes the thing that is always at the back of my mind is that I will allow things to end up on the back burner and never allow it to reach it's full potential. It is something that I have done more often than enough in the past, letting major opportunities slip by possible due to the fear of how it will be perceived. It may be that I'm worried that things will go too well and the prospect of success is much more difficult to get my head around than the cosy comfort that mediocrity exudes. A further and constant worry is that I will forget to do a drawing one day, or something will crop up that means I can't physically complete my task for that day leading to  an epic failure at the last. I guess it is idiotic to think that when we make plans that in the beginning we can see exactly how things will pan out, know the obstacles that we will be faced with and have prepared for them well in advance. The unfortunate truth is all we can do is plug away, take things one day at a time and do every thing we can to make it to the end. So who really  knows how things will end with this but I know one thing is for certain whether it is a flop or a victory... getting there is going to be half the fun.
